Sunday, March 30 — Veterans League, “Softball, Quality of Life” Project The Elephants (Veterans 1 Team) continued their stampede through the 12th edition of the Veterans League with yet another dominant doubleheader sweep, their eighth of the season, boasting a remarkable 65.54% two-win rate. With 17 wins and just 7 losses, the Elephants have firmly entrenched themselves as the team to beat. Game 1 was a statement win—a 16–3 knockout blow against their longtime rivals, the Shrimpers (Veterans 3 Team). It was another tough outing for veteran pitcher Jorge Sánchez, who couldn’t withstand the Elephant onslaught. Game 2, however, was pure drama. Down early, the Elephants clawed their way back, tying the game in the bottom of the 7th before veteran slugger Wences Hernández stepped up with ice in his veins. In the 8th inning, he delivered a walk-off hit, igniting the crowd and sealing another unforgettable victory. Right-hander Yosvany María Córdova was lights out on the mound, picking up the win in both contests and continuing his stellar run this season. Meanwhile, it was another rough Sunday for the Jagua (Veterans 2 Team), who dropped both of their games, including a 16–5 knockout loss to the Shrimpers in the final matchup. The skid continues for a squad struggling to find rhythm in the back half of the season. With these results, the Elephants remain firmly in command of the league. The Shrimpers trail by 8 games, and the Jagua sit 10 games back, both now racing against time and consistency to close the gap before the regular season winds down. As the final stretch approaches, one thing’s clear—the road to the championship runs through the Elephants.
